When you win the midfield battle early on it's a huge morale boost, and Kante would've helped massively in that. The ball wasn't going past our midfield for 90% of the game so we needed to fix that first in order to create opportunities up front. When Tuchel said our counterpressing wasn't good that strenghtens my point, which you weirdly enough are trying to use against me. If our counterpressing was bad and thats what he took out of the game, who would've helped with that? Seriously...man
I agree our attack was bad, but the midfield could've done much more in my opinion. The fact that Ziyech who gave the ball away a 1000 times stayed on for so long when you could've brought Kante on for him is a disgrace. He should've been brought off at half time.
